This is a Polar research ship operated by Britain; its present location is noted up on top of the image.The ship is about 125 metres (410 ft) long, with a beam of about 24 metres (79 ft). The draught is about 7 metres (23 ft) with a planned cruising speed of 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph) with a range of 19,000 nautical miles (35,000 km; 22,000 mi) at that speed. She is capable of carrying two helicopters and has a capacity for approximately 900 cubic metres (32,000 cu ft) of cargo. Accommodation is provided for 30 crew and 60 research staff. Sir David Attenborough began her sea trials on 21 October 2020. She officially made her maiden voyage to Antarctica on 16 November 2021.

This cam comes from the International Space Station's live view from space of planet Earth. This NASA External HD live camera is currently mounted on the outside of the ISS. Because it's located in space, the connection/picture is sometimes lost. When this occurs, the view is switched to archived video, and the loop will have “Previously Recorded” on the image to distinguish it from the livestream from the Node 2 camera

The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station assembled and maintained in Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ISS is the largest space station ever built. Its primary purpose is to perform microgravity and space environment experiments. Operationally, the station is divided into two sections: the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) assembled by Roscosmos, and the US Orbital Segment (USOS), assembled by NASA, JAXA, ESA and CSA. A striking feature of the ISS is the Integrated Truss Structure, which connects the large solar panels and radiators to the pressurized modules. The pressurized modules are specialized for research, habitation, storage, spacecraft control, and airlock functions. Visiting spacecraft dock at the station via its eight docking and berthing ports. The ISS maintains an orbit with an average altitude of 400 kilometres (250 mi) and circles the Earth in roughly 93 minutes, completing 15.5 orbits per day.
